Marine Le Pen charged for posting violent Isis images on Twitter
The Guardian ^ | March 1, 2018 | Agence France-Presse

Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right Front National, has been charged over photographs she tweeted showing gruesome images of purported atrocities by Islamic State.

The move by a judge in Nanterre on Thursday came after the national assembly voted in November to strip Le Pen of her parliamentary immunity over the three photos posted in 2015.

*snip*

“Daesh is this!” Le Pen wrote in a caption, using an Arabic acronym for Isis, in response to a TV journalist drawing a comparison between the extremists and the French far right.

A journalist compares Le Pen's movement to ISIS. No problem. Le Pen tries to defend herself and she loses her parliamentary immunity, then gets charged.

Le Pen's National Front has some unsavory elements, to be sure. But it is also a threat to the French establishment. So Le Pen must be neutralized.

Meanwhile the slow Islamic infiltration of France continues.

“I am being charged for having condemned the horrors of Daesh,” Le Pen told the news agency AFP. “In other countries this would have earned me a medal.”

Charged for showing the truth. Truth is illegal. Jesus would be crucified in a second if he stepped foot in France.

Ah, typical Guardian.
“Far right” exists.
Even the term “left” does not.
Heh, coming from the Guardian, which considers the old Soviet Union centrist, this is classic.

I noticed that as well. Before posting, I did I quick search about this story. Almost every source I found labelled Le Pen “far right”. So, yeah, it’s not just the Guardian. It’s modern journalism. They gotta insert their opinions into everything.

But it is funny how none of them brand Bernie Sanders as “far left”.

The pics were posted 3 years ago. Western culture is under siege from within. Wake up. Never has it been more apparent that without the 1st and 2nd we would be Europe already.

How many major Islamic terror attacks have taken place in France since she posted the forbidden pictures of Islamic terror?

They did do one favor for society. They drew a striking picture of the differences of even the most desired countries to be in in Europe to a comparison to the US. We are against Islamic extremists. France is now made up of them. We have the first amendment. They have persecution and imprisonment or execution for the opportunity to speak their minds. And they wonder why people are willing to die to get here?

Well said. I was thinking the same thing. We are, however, slowly losing ground on the 1A. Liberals are now labeling ideas they disagree with “hate speech”. And it’s not that big a step to turn “hate speech” into a “hate crime”.

Fortunately the 2A still stands strong.

you had 8 years of obama embedding his operatives and philosophy
you had America sponsoring the Arab Spring
then you had Oasshole stir up the mideast with violence , then kicking open the floodgate at Benghazi so those “migrants” could flood Europe just in time for Hillary’s election so she could carry on his Death to America/ death to western man agenda
the imans are still laughing at the gullibility of America

It was the greatest assault of liberty and freedom EVER and the formula was simple.
Destroy the hub of western man (America) and the rest falls.

Sounds like its time to dust off the old guillotine.

The criminalization of opposition parties to the Left continues. The end game for this is China; a one party dictatorship that then morphs into a one-man dictatorship.

History repeats. Humans prefer the miserable certainty of slavery over the happy uncertainty of freedom.

Those who oppose The Invasion of Europe by hordes of homicidal savages are attacked.

I, for one, am glad to see this. She is an anti-Semite, and therefore deserves to be stripped of her immunity and sent to jail for her speech.

Excellent question! Someone should ask the French elite that. Their response would be very interesting. (Then again, they just might throw the questioner in jail.)

the only ones in AMerica with the 1st Amendment are the liberals and the media. Thank GOD for the 2nd Amendment but that too is in serious danger if liberals have their way. We, The People have to “TAKE AMERICA BACK” (TAB)

She was not charged with anti-Semitism, but with being anti Islam (or anti ISIS to be more exact). This sets the precedent that anyone could be charged with the same “crime.”
